    Sony Bravia KDL42w705B 4K 8 red blinks

    My mate sold me this tv and i cant figure out what board is causing this error code.

    The TV comes with a Power Adapter similar to a laptop, when i first plug the TV in the power brick makes some high pitched noises, its not really loud but its noticeable, The TV wont display any error codes or standby light for 4-5 mins and as soon as it starts giving the 8 blinks the power brick stops making any noises. I have tried power cycling and resting it with the remote and power button but still no joy, When the TV first gets power i can see a red light coming from the optical out but when it starts giving the blinks the audio optical light goes out.

    The main cpu/graphics chip gets warm to the touch until it goes into protect mode, i have checked all the SMD fuses on the inverter/power board and they all seem fine.

    When i was power cycling my lip touched the corner of the aluminium bezel and i got a little zap.

    I am thinking of ordering another main board but i'm not sure this is causing the problem.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same model here, the orginal Tcon is blown to peices. The panel is shorted. Im able to get the backlight on very breifly with the Lcd disconnected but the Tcon still in. Not going to be fixable.

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      HP Pavilion 15-eh Board DAG7HAMB8F0 - CPU throttling to 0.4GHz (PROCHOT_EXT) and black screen
      by m1ch43lzm
      Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
      Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

      Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
      by jb_Bak
      Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

      Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
      Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
      CN6401
      Pin 01 NC
      Pin 02 NC
      Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
      Pin 04 "N/C"
      Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
      Pin 06 "GND": N/C
      Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

      Sony Bravia KDL-70W850B T-CON board / software update issue
      by eclectric
      Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue before I give up on this TV.

      In short, I replaced the T-CON board due to an error code indicating that was the problem, after which it flashed a green and orange LED meaning software update required. I cannot get the tv to do the required update via USB, so I am stuck.

      Here is a rundown of the symptoms and the steps I have taken to troubleshoot:

      I inherited the TV with the symptom that it would turn on, then turn off after 5-10 seconds and a red LED flashed 4 or 5 times. Sometimes it would be 4, sometimes...

      TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
      by howardc64
      All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
      • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
      • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault
